AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a fuel gas supply system that can accurately detect the difference in pressure between the fuel gas before and after a valve mechanism. This is achieved by using a differential pressure sensor that detects the pressure of the fuel gas in the upstream and downstream channels, reducing detection errors and allowing for accurate measurement of the differential pressure.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the conventional technique as disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2011-028950, since the differential pressure between the pressure of the hydrogen gas (fuel gas) on the upstream side of the injector (valve mechanism) and the pressure of the hydrogen gas on the downstream of the injector (valve mechanism) is calculated using the upstream pressure sensor and the downstream pressure sensor, the calculated differential pressure include detection errors of the upstream pressure sensor and the downstream pressure sensor, respectively.

Abstract

A fuel gas supply system includes a valve mechanism, an upstream channel for guiding a fuel gas to the valve mechanism, a downstream channel into which the fuel gas discharged from the valve mechanism is guided, a differential pressure sensor for detecting the differential pressure between the pressure of the fuel gas in the upstream channel and the pressure of the fuel gas in the downstream channel, a first pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the fuel gas in the upstream channel, and a second pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the fuel gas in the downstream channel. The number of the differential pressure is one, the number of the first pressure sensor is one, and the number of the second pressure sensor is one.
